Chapter 369: Bet

The three of them looked up and saw a big fat man in his fifties, wearing a white shirt and a beer belly, walking over with a smile. The person who came was none other than their friend, the famous science fiction writer Lin Kuang.

Cai Yan was surprised and said, "Why are you here?"

Lin Kuang grinned and laughed: "What, can't I come?"

Cai Yan hurriedly said: "Of course not. Didn't you fight that mainland kid lately! I thought you were writing in the house. The three of us are discussing to help you punch, and write an article to scold that mainland kid who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”

Lin Kuang arched his hand with a smile and said, "The kindness of the three Lin has been understood, but you don't need to make a move to deal with a local boy." We are all famous figures for many years, and if we make a move against a mainland boy, if we join forces to attack, won't it seem that we are very incompetent? You can rest assured, how can I, Lin Kuang, let a mainland boy step on him, and have a way to deal with him!"

Quan Yong saw that Lin Kuang was confident, so he said, "How are you going to deal with him?"

Lin Kuang didn't rush to agree, looked at Quan Yong, and said with a smile, "I want to ask you to help me, I need Xu Wangqiu's phone number, you can help me get Xu Wangqiu's phone number." ”

Quan Yong was slightly stunned: "I have no intersection with Xu Wangqiu, where do I know his phone number." ”

Lin Kuang smiled: "You have a good relationship with Xia Meng, Xia Meng must know Xu Wangqiu's phone number." ”

Quan Yong couldn't figure out what Lin Kuang wanted to do, so he didn't dare to rashly agree: "What do you want to do? Don't be confused! You and Xu Wangqiu are both literati, and it's okay to engage in literary fighting, but you must not engage in martial arts." If you kill someone, you'll go to jail. ”

Lin Kuang smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I want Xu Wangqiu's phone number because I want to call him and ask him to have a real cultural fight with me." I'm going to say to him, you say that I write science fiction poorly, and it's because there is no hero who makes the shaft famous! Then let's compete to see whose science fiction is better written and whose science fiction is more popular. ”

Quan Yong said speechlessly: "Xu Wangqiu is not a fool, how can he write science fiction with you in a hurry." Xu Wangqiu can write things, but what he writes is either a script or an essay, and he has never written it at all. As long as he has a good brain, it is impossible to write science fiction with you, a science fiction master. ”

Lin Kuang doesn't see it that way: "If you can write a script, you have the ability to write it, and he also calls himself a science fiction fan, he should have read a lot of science fiction, and it is possible to write science fiction." I was going to write a war letter in the newspaper first, and I wanted to write science fiction with Xu Wangqiu, and then call him, attack him on the phone, and write a war letter to him. Xu Wangqiu is young and vigorous, and he can write, so when I was provoked by my words, he might agree. Even if he doesn't, that's okay. In the eyes of Xiangjiang readers, he will become a bombastic clown, and his attacks on me will naturally become a joke. ”

Cai Yan laughed and said, "That's a good idea. I hope this kid accepts the challenge and writes a bullshit sci-fi that doesn't make sense, and from then on he will become a laughing stock in Xiangjiang. ”

Quan Yong thinks Lin Kuang's idea is good, Xu Wangqiu recently posted an article criticizing Lin Kuang, which seriously damaged Lin Kuang's reputation and will affect his creation in the future. After Lin Kuang wrote a war letter, no matter whether Xu Wangqiu was better or not, Lin Kuang saved his reputation.

Quan Yong nodded slightly: "I'll call Xia Meng in a while." ”

Zhang Youjun is a loyal reader of "Ming Pao" and a die-hard fan of Lin Kuang, who has read all of them, and has read each book at least five times. Zhang Youjun has been in a very bad mood in recent days, Xu Wangqiu not only scolded Lin Kuang, but also degraded his favorite Wesley to worthless, and what made him even more unhappy was that Lin Kuang's was no longer serialized in recent days, and he started a scolding war with Xu Wangqiu every day, so that Zhang Youjun couldn't see the ending he wanted.

That morning, Zhang Youjun came to the newsstand, took out the change and handed it to the aunt who sold the newspaper, and then took the newspaper. He opened the newspaper, turned to Lin Kuang's column, and quickly browsed it, wanting to see if the serialization had resumed.

It's just that when Zhang Youjun saw the content of Lin Kuang's column, he couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and went to look at the content of Lin Kuang's column again, only then did he make sure that he was not mistaken, Lin Kuang really wrote a war letter to Xu Wangqiu.

Lin Kuang wrote in a column: "Recently, I commented on Xu Wangqiu's films, and I think his films are very bad, especially lacking in ideology. Although I have never made a movie, I have written nearly 200 scripts, and I have a say in the quality of the movie. Xu Wangqiu said that my science fiction is not good, that my science fiction is a third-rate level, may I ask how many science fiction you have written, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at my works and say that my works are not good?

I know you can write something, and you think my science fiction level is low, so we might as well compare and see which of us writes better science fiction and whose is more popular, do you dare......"

After reading Lin Kuang's war book, Zhang Youjun said excitedly: "Yes, Xu Wangqiu, didn't you say that Lin Kuang is not good, Wesley writes badly! You have the ability to write a book that is better than Wesley! I think you are Zhao Kuo, and you can only talk on paper!"

At the same time, countless readers of "Ming Pao" have seen Lin Kuang's war book, and everyone is talking about it, wondering how Xu Wangqiu will respond and whether he will compete with Lin Kuang. However, almost everyone believes that Xu Wangqiu will not accept Lin Kuang's war letter.

"Haha! This thing is really getting more and more interesting! Lin Kuang actually sent a war letter directly to Xu Wangqiu! But I think Xu Wangqiu will definitely not accept Lin Kuang's war letter, after all, Lin Kuang is a science fiction writer, and he eats this bowl. Although Xu Wangqiu can also write, he is not a professional after all, so he definitely can't compare to Lin Kuang, and he definitely can't compare. ”

"I think so too, he definitely won't write science fiction with Lin Kuangbi. ”

"If I were Xu Wangqiu, I would say, you still say that my movie is a bad movie! If you have the ability, you can make a movie and win an award in Berlin! I will make a movie with you, do you dare to compare?"

"I hope Xu Wangqiu compares with Lin Kuang!

On this night, Xu Wangqiu received a call from Lin Kuang. When he heard that it was Lin Kuang on the other end of the phone, he was slightly stunned, and then said in a mocking tone: "Yo, isn't this a famous science fiction master in Xiangjiang, why did you remember to call me, are you here to apologize to me?"

Lin Kuang thought to himself that he should not pretend to be stupid, you would not know why I called, and sneered: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, have you seen the war book I ordered?

Xu Wangqiu said disdainfully: "You still say that my movie is not good, then you have a kind of making a movie." As long as your film can be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the three major film festivals, I don't want you to win the award, as long as you can be shortlisted, I will kowtow and admit defeat! It's not me who hits you, just your poor artistic level, don't say that you are shortlisted, I'm afraid you won't even be able to touch the temple gate of the film festival!"

Lin Kuang's face was flushed with anger, and his left hand suddenly clenched into a fist. He was so hard that his nails dug deep into his flesh. His knuckles were slightly white, and his whole hand was shaking faintly. It's also that Xu Wangqiu is not in front of him, otherwise he would definitely rush up and punch Xu Wangqiu twice in the face. He raised his voice and said, "I just know how to show off my mouth! Don't try to change the subject! Don't you say that I am not in the stream! There is a kind of comparison with me!"

Xu Wangqiu knew that Lin Kuang wanted to save his reputation by giving him a war letter, so he naturally wouldn't let him get his wish, and sneered: "Yours is not in the stream. For example, you wrote a book called "The Rings", which actually said that human beings actually immigrated to Saturn's rings. Do you know that Saturn's rings are made of dust, water, and ice, and that Saturn's rings are inhabited by people and brains? I advise you to buy a set of "100,000 Whys", otherwise you will not even know this basic common sense, and you will only become a laughing stock. ”

Lin Kuang was so angry that his eyes bulged out: "Don't change the topic, little ghost, I'll ask you, dare to compare with me?"

Xu Wangqiu didn't respond at all, and continued to sarcastically: "Many people brag that you have an imagination, you have a fart imagination, but you just pick up some second-hand ideas from abroad." For example, your supporters boasted that Lin Kuang wrote in 1970's "Pen Pal" that computers were intelligent, and at that time they had not yet entered the era of microcomputers. In the 1968 science fiction movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", Hal is not an artificial intelligence? In Heinlein's famous 1966 work "The Stern Moon", it is an intelligent computer that leads the lunar uprising.

You're just picking up people's teeth, and you're embarrassed to blow your imagination. If you're really imaginative, you won't have the idiotic behavior of not being able to end and forcibly ending with aliens. You have neither imagination, nor ideas, nor characterization, and you are simply useless. The reason why you can become a best-selling author in Hong Kong is, in the final analysis, that there is too little knowledge among Hong Kong readers. If you had the opportunity to read the works of real masters, would you have room to live?"

Lin Kuang was so angry that he roared: "Little ghost! Since mine is so unbearable, I have neither imagination nor thought, and I can't create characters, then you write a book! There is a kind of you write a book! There is a kind of comparison with me!"

Xu Wangqiu continued to turn on the taunting skill: "I don't compare with you, I sympathize with you, if I write, I'm afraid your science fiction master's hat will be taken off!

Lin Kuang had never seen such a shameless person as Xu Wangqiu, obviously he didn't dare to compare himself, but he said it so high-soundingly, and roared angrily: "I don't want your sympathy! I don't want the hat of a science fiction master! There is a kind of comparison between you and me!"

Xu Wangqiu said lazily: "You kneel down and beg me! As long as you kneel down and beg me, I will compare with you!"

Lin Kuang finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and all kinds of swear words gushed out like a surging river: "I'm your mother! Your whole family is going to die, your father was hit by a car and died, and your mother ......."

Xu Wangqiu finally became angry when he saw Lin Kuang insulting his family like this, and sneered: "Lin Kuang, since you have to find death, then I will fulfill you! I will compare with you! How do you compare?"

The anger in Lin Kuang's heart dissipated instantly, and a voice in his heart shouted, "Little ghost!" You have finally fallen into my trap! He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Okay! Count yourself as a kind! Then we will take one month as the boundary, you will serialize it in "Ta Kung Pao", and I will serialize it in "Ming Pao", and after the serialization is over, it will be assembled and published in a book! Whoever has a high sales volume! Who is the winner! How about it, do you dare to compare?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled faintly: "Of course you dare!"

Lin Kuang saw that Xu Wangqiu agreed without thinking about it, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "I won't take advantage of you either." Well, three days later, the serialization will start for one month! After the assembly is published, it will also last for one month. Whoever has the highest sales volume will be the winner! The person with the low sales volume openly concedes in the newspapers. What do you think?"

Lin Kuang originally wanted to gamble with Xu Wangqiu ruthlessly, and he was not afraid at all, but he was afraid of scaring Xu Wangqiu, so he didn't dare to bet with himself, so he finally chose to publicly admit defeat.

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that if I compete in martial arts or something else, I may not be able to compare to you, but science fiction is a brain hole, I can beat you to death, and said lightly: "Yes! I am looking forward to you publicly admitting defeat in "Ming Pao"!"
